Carbon Monoxide Detector?
Chloe
Recently i've had a carbon monoxide detector put into my new house, but i only have one upstairs next to the boiler in a room where the door is shut, will the CO detector still track the carbon monoxide from far away relatively quickly if the source is coming from downstairs?
Answer
Pretty much yes - with one or two caveats.
The detector will detect CO from anywhere - it looks at the levels, not the source. It was put near the boiler because that would be the most obvious source of CO.
CO is a pretty reactive gas, there isn't very much six inches away from a car exhaust for instance because most of it will have turned into the much more harmless CO2 by then. A car in an enclosed space like a garage is a different beast though, and CO could easily build up then!
If CO is an issue for you then leave a window open when you're at home if you can. This will go a very, very long way in keeping you safe. x
